Tell Me
Lost in Love: Filly Mack's Call to Hold On Tight
Lyrics
Thinking back about all times you saw
Reflecting on past moments when you witnessed happiness, joy, and affection
Smiles and light, laughs and love
Recalling the presence of smiles, brightness, laughter, and affectionate feelings
You say that these things are hard to find
Expressing difficulty in finding these positive emotions and experiences
But there's a cloud hanging over your head
Feeling overshadowed by a metaphorical cloud of troubles or negativity
And you gotta get out
Feeling the necessity to escape or break free from the current situation
Why didn't you tell me you were lost
Questioning why there wasn't communication about feeling lost or needing love
Why didn't you say all you needed was love
Expressing the desire for love and honesty instead of falsehoods
Just a little bit of love and no more lies
Yearning for a small amount of genuine love without deceit
Tell me, when did you find you were lost
Asking about the realization of being lost deep within oneself
Down deep in the dark
Feeling lost in a profound and dark emotional state
Tell me that you need me before you can't
Requesting acknowledgment of needing support before it's too late
Remember all the ones you love Before you make up your mind to go
Remembering loved ones before making a decision to leave
The world will miss your smile that you like to call your own
Anticipating the absence of a unique and cherished smile from the world
Yeah, tell me something before you leave
Seeking information or expression before departure
And don't you go
Pleading not to leave
Yeah, tell me
Repetition emphasizing the need for communication and sharing
Yeah, tell me
-Yeah, tell me
-Yeah, tell me
-(Ah)
Interjections expressing emotions (Ah, Oo)
(Oo)
-You gotta cross every bridge as it comes
Encouraging facing challenges as they arise
Reach for my hand, and I'll hold you tight
Offering support and assurance through physical presence
Don't you let go till I say
Insisting on holding on until given permission to let go
I wanna feel that you're holding, holding tight to me
Desiring a strong and reassuring connection
And we were only kids just yesterday
Reminiscing about youthful innocence and closeness
And we shared the world, the secrets and more
Recalling sharing experiences and keeping secrets
Why can't you bring back all you gave
Urging the retrieval of the previously given love and positivity
You say it's the end, but I won't let it come to this
Refusing to accept the end and vowing to prevent it
(Oo, oo)
Expressing emotional sounds (Oo, oo)
So, tell me that you need me before you can't
Repeated insistence on communication and expression before departure
Yeah, remember all the ones you love
-Before you make up your mind to go
-The world will miss your smile that you like to call your own
-Tell me something before you leave
-And don't you go
-Yeah, tell me
-Yeah, tell me
-Yeah, tell me
-Yeah, tell me
Continued plea for communication and information
